Love this tune! Brian and, as Keith once noted, "all that Arabic riff."
I've always heard the lines as:
"We don't care if you hound we
and lock the doors around we."

Amazing track from beginning to the end.
Unfortunately one of the songs that wouldn't work live, - not from the Stones.

Sgt. Peppers via wiki:
Emphasising its identity as a self-contained work, none of the songs were issued as singles at the time.The album occupied the number one position on the Billboard Top LPs chart in the US for 15 weeks, from 1 July to 13 October 1967.[262]
With 2.5 million copies sold within three months of its release,[263] Sgt. Pepper's initial commercial success exceeded that of all previous Beatles albums.[115] In the UK, it was the best-selling album of 1967[264] and of the decade.
Satanic Majesties via wiki:
Released in December 1967, Their Satanic Majesties Request reached No. 3 in the UK and No. 2 in the US (easily going gold), but its commercial performance declined rapidly.
It was soon viewed as a pretentious, poorly conceived attempt to outdo the Beatles and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (released in June 1967),

Fantastic. 'Our' His Majesty is channeling Brian perfectly there. Dark and threatening. Brian really makes this track (extra kudos to Nicky as well). No easy pop, a'la SGT. PEPPER at all.
